Windhoek in Namibia

Windhoek Tours

Windhoek is Namibia’s capital city and its cultural and economic center. It lies in a beautiful valley bordered by the Eros Mountains to the north and the Auas mountains to the south. The mountains shield it from harsh winds, making it comfortable to visit year-round. The German colonial influence is evident in both the architecture and the food. The Tintenpalast (Ink Palace), which today houses Namibia’s parliament, combines classical European architecture with local materials. The 19th-century Lutheran Christuskirche (Christ Church), with its tall, pointed spire, is among the city’s most prominent landmarks.

German food is readily available as well, with restaurants serving everything from traditional dishes to modern takes on old classics. Windhoek is also known as the art capital of Namibia. It is home to the National Art Gallery, National Theatre and the National Museum, as well as the Alte Feste, a former German fort that has been repurposed into a museum. The Dan Viljoen Game Reserve, located a few miles outside the city, offers the chance to spot giraffes, zebras and antelope.
